What else can I help you with?
Where does a roller coaster have the lowest amount of kinetic energy?
at the top of the first hill, just before the first drop
How much friction do roller coasters have?
Friction, slows the roller coaster down to a slow enough pace that it eventually stops.
How much gs is 1.4 on a roller coaster?
A little more than the amount we feel all the time! ;)
What is usually the highest point on a roller coaster?
The top of the first hill. This is where the coaster has its greatest amount of potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it moves along the track.
How do you unlock more places in roller coaster rush?
you have to pass each level with a amount of two or more stars.
What part of the roller coaster has the greatest amount of potential energy?
That would be a section of the steel track installed at the top of the first hill.
What would likely happen to the amount of adrenaline that your body is producing a few minutes after you get off the roller coaster?
The body will decrease production of that substance
Are roller coasters or extreme sports more fun?
Roller coasters because you get more adrenaline pumped in a small amount of time when your on a roller coaster. Sports take more time to get you excited unless your like a dare devil motor cyclist which I do not advise becoming.
Where is the greatest amount of potential and kinetic energy in a roller coaster?
If it is a rollercoaster that has a first drop hill, the roller coaster has the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom of that drop. If it is magnetically launched, the kinetic energy is probably greatest immediately after the launch. However, there are cases where these statements may not be true. (i.e. a drop right after a magnetic launch)The energy is the greatest at the bottom of a drop, before some is translated back into potential energy as the car climbs the next rise.
Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height. PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE
Does the roller coaster have the same amount of energy at the beginning and end of the ride?
Yes, the roller coaster has the same amount of total mechanical energy at the beginning and end of the ride, assuming no energy is lost to friction or air resistance. This is due to the principle of conservation of energy, where potential energy at the highest point is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster descends. However, energy may be transformed between potential and kinetic forms throughout the ride. In real-world scenarios, some energy is often lost to friction, resulting in a slight decrease in total mechanical energy.
Is a K'Nex roller coaster faster when lighter?
It depends on the amount of friction. Higher friction means a higher resistance between the track and coaster which means it is slower. The weight of the coaster does not matter at all. F=ma a=9.8 m/s/s As mass increases, the force needed to accelerate at 9.8 metres per second squared is increased.
